Tech workers at the New York Times announced Tuesday that they have formed a union and are now requesting recognition by the paper. According to the Times, the new union, known as the Times Tech Guild, will represent at least 650 employees who work in software engineering, web and software design, data analysis and product management. The Times Tech Guild will be represented by the NewsGuild of New York, which also represents the Times’ unionized newsroom employees, but will be part of a distinct bargaining bloc. “We are a group of New York Times employees who build, maintain, analyze and support products and technical systems that are key to the company’s success,” the union said in a statement announcing its existence. “We believe that the Times will become stronger by improving its workplace culture.” Also Read: Trump Rails Against NY Times for Report on His Campaign Fundraising Tactics “To better express and defend our rights, we are organizing with the NewsGuild of New York,” the statement continued. “As of now, we face a number of challenges, including sudden or unexplained terminations, opaque promotion processes, unpaid overtime, and underinvestment in diverse representation. Without a union, we lack the data or bargaining rights we need to address these issues. Through collective bargaining, we will be able to build The Times’ world class digital products and platforms in a workplace that is more equitable, healthy and just. We ask that management recognize the NewsGuild of New York as our bargaining representative and begin negotiating in good faith.” We’re excited to announce that the tech workers of @nytimes have formed a union with @nyguild.

We will take time to review this request and discuss it soon with representatives of the NewsGuild.” Read original story New York Times Tech Employees Unionize At TheWrap

Tuesday’s “The Late Show” kicked off with a short video inspired by a recent team up between New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and multihyphenate superstar Lin Manuel-Miranda. And guess what, you definitely won’t be surprised by where it goes. The duo officiated the opening of a new COVID vaccination center in Times Square, which is a symbolic part of the effort to get Broadway back to full strength. Naturally, the “Late Show” clip used that as a jumping off point for a “Hamilton” parody… and we bet $5 million dollars you already know which song from the smash hit Broadway musical they picked. Don’t worry, you don’t owe us anything. We’ll just confirm that yes, obviously, the vaccine-inspired song was a parody of “My Shot.” You know, because the vaccine is delivered via a shot. And also, you don’t want to miss your shot because if you do, you won’t develop COVID antibodies.

In an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Tuesday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, best known for taking a vacation in Mexico while his constituents suffered through a devastating winter storm, deployed some of same talking points other Republicans have used when discussing the killing of Daunte Wright. In this case, he emphasized the official line from police that it was an accident, while baselessly smearing Democrats as pro-violence and assigning all blame for violence to “the left.” Cruz — who notably lied about his trip to Cancun in February, including a clumsy attempt to blame his own daughters — was asked by Hannity to comment on the ongoing protests in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center, where Wright was killed by a police officer during a traffic stop on Sunday. The protests are currently in their third night and have unfortunately been marked by violent clashes between police and protesters, and also sporadic vandalism and looting. Also Read: Trevor Noah Slams Police for Daunte Wright's Death: 'Cops Think Everything Is a Gun - Except Their Own Gun' (Video) Here’s what Cruz, who also publicly whined about the people who leaked texts proving he wasn’t truthful about his reason for traveling to Mexico, told Hannity: “Well obviously what’s unfolding in Minnesota is horrific, and the violence that we’re seeing has the potential to spill out and get out of control. It began with what now appears to be a tragic accident, and an accident where a man’s life was taken by mistake. Unfortunately in the course of interactions with law enforcement, sometimes there are accidents that occur. But this is a situation where the racial, uh, powder keg, that we see, the left willing to light the fire of and incite violence, incite murders that we saw all across the country, murders of police officers, fires and burning of stores is, is wrong. And it’s horrific. The shooting needs to be fully investigated, it needs to be gotten to the bottom of why that happened. But, the answer is not engaging in violent riots and there are a whole lot of Democratic politicians who celebrate and encourage this kind of lawlessness and resort to violence and it has become a central part of the Democratic Party.” So, a couple of things about that. First, while the widespread protests against police violence did see instances of looting and vandalism in 2020, the only murders of police officers, as well as the burning down of a police precinct in Minneapolis, weren’t committed by protesters. In fact, these incidents of violence and murder were committed by right wing terrorists federal law enforcement agencies say were attempting to incite a civil war. Also Read: Minnesota Twins, Timberwolves and Wild Postpone Games After Police Killing As for the accusation that Democrats support “lawlessness” and “violence,” the majority of Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have denounced violence and called for calm. However, Ted Cruz for his part was a notable supporter of efforts to overturn the 2020 election that culminated in the violent, deadly Capitol riot Jan. 6 in which supporters of Donald Trump were incited by Trump himself to storm the Capitol building in order to locate and potentially murder members of congress, as well as then-Vice President Mike Pence. And even after the riot ended, Cruz still attempted to overturn the election results during the congressional certification process. However, the next day he did call the rioters terrorists and say that Trump’s rhetoric was “irresponsible.” Anyway, watch Ted Cruz, if you want to, above.

Lee Aaker, who starred in the ABC series “The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin,” died this month near Mesa, Arizona of a stroke, according to a Facebook post from fellow former child actor Paul Petersen. He was 77. Born in Inglewood, California, in 1943, Aaker was first found by director Fred Zinnemann and cast for his short film “Benjy,” which was commissioned as a fundraiser video by Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital and featured Aaker as a boy with scoliosis who is offered the chance to undergo a medical procedure that could cure him, but must first get permission from his parents whom have rejected him because of his condition. Despite being based on dramatized scenes, it qualified for the Best Documentary Short category at the Oscars and won in 1951. Also Read: Richard Rush, Oscar-Nominated Writer-Director of 'The Stunt Man,' Dies at 91 Later that year, Zinnemann brought Aaker back for an uncredited appearance in his most iconic film, the classic Western “High Noon,” opposite Gary Cooper. Though it won four Oscars, the film controversially lost Best Picture at the 1953 Academy Awards to Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Greatest Show on Earth,” which ironically Aaker also appeared in another uncredited role. Overall, “High Noon” and “The Greatest Show on Earth” were two of nine films released in 1952 that Aaker appeared in…all before he turned 10. After appearing with John Wayne in the 1953 Western “Hondo” and alongside Barbara Stanwyck in the John Sturges noir film “Jeopardy,” Aaker earned his greatest claim to fame with “The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin,” which ran from 1954 to 1959 on ABC. The “boy and his dog” series featured Aaker as Corporal Rusty, a boy living during the days of the Old West who is taken in by a U.S. Cavalry outpost after he is orphaned by an Apache raid. Alongside his German Shepherd, Rin Tin Tin, Rusty would accompany the cavalry on their adventures. Also Read: Gerren Taylor, Star of BET's 'Baldwin Hills,' Dies at 30 After the show’s end, the then-teenage Aaker got a handful of cameo roles on TV series like “The Donna Reed Show,” where he met Paul Petersen, who was a cast member, as well as “The Lucy Show,” Lucille Ball’s follow-up to “I Love Lucy” after her divorce from Desi Arnaz. But by the time he came of age, the offers had dried up. His final acting credit was an uncredited role in the 1963 film adaptation of “Bye Bye Birdie.” He enlisted in the Air Force shortly after leaving Hollywood and later became a carpenter. In the Facebook post announcing Aaker’s passing, Petersen said Aaker died “alone and unclaimed…listed as an ‘indigent decedent.'” He said that he is working on claiming military burial benefits entitled to Aaker as a veteran. “God knows when a sparrow falls,” he wrote. For the record: A previous version of this story listed an incorrect star of “High Noon.” Read original story Lee Aaker, Child Star of ‘The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin’, Dies at 77 At TheWrap
